People's Commentary (NT)
2 Timothy 4:17
The Lord stood with me, and strengthened me. He had a better helper
than man. He had an assurance that the Lord was with him.
That by me . . . all the Gentiles might hear. The Lord strengthened
him, so that in his defense he could proclaim to the Gentiles boldly
the principles of the gospel. For the manner in which he was wont to
defend himself, see in his famous speeches before Felix (Acts 11:21),
Festus (Acts 25:8), and Agrippa (Acts 26:2-30).
I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. Probably a proverbial
expression indicating deliverance from great danger. Some have thought
it meant that he was delivered from being thrown to the lions.
